Deliberate mistake: In the end of the NASCAR race, Tripp and Gordon get into a crash making Gordon spin, but he somehow is still able to come in second place even though every other racer was right on his back when he spun. He wouldn't have been able to regain that much speed in that short amount of time.
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Angela Robinson
Starring: Michael Keaton, Matt Dillon, Lindsay Lohan, Breckin Meyer, Cheryl Hines
Continuity mistake: At Crazy Dave's, when Herbie tries to get to the exit and blows his tire, it's the right rear. But when Lindsay is looking for a car and he drives off the block holding him up the tire is off the left rear.
Maggie Peyton: You don't understand. That's my car out there.
Jimmy D.: Well, now, you parked it in the wrong place.
Trivia: When Crazy Dave is putting the chain on Herbie at his yard, Herbie squirts oil all over his foot. This is a reference to the 1968 film "The Love Bug", in which Herbie did exactly the same thing to Thorndyke (David Tomlinson).
Question: How is Herbie able to come to life on his own? I haven't seen the other movies.
Answer: In the original "Love Bug" movie, made in the 1960's, the Hippie Era, Tennessee explained all things have a soul. Whether it be animal, vegetable or mineral and someday all these things will achieve self awareness.

Answer: It is explained in the 1997 version of "the love bug". When a scientist was building Herbie, a picture of the scientist's deceased wife who he loved very much fell into the container of molten metal. This accidental action caused Herbie to have love for any owner he has.
